This study aims at revealing how the discursive practices and the discourse on alcoholism in the Native Americans is produced and contested in a short story entitled The Reckoning by Joy Harjo. The problem in this study is approached by Foucauldian concept of discourse production procedure. The method applied here is the Foucauldian discourse analysis by examining the problem through the process of formation including external and internal exclusion. Central to the analysis is that alcoholism is produced as taboo through the mother character which limits the general understanding about alcoholism; hence this discourse is possible to produce by the subject whose credentials can validate the truth. This discourse is also affirmed by the contextual prohibition which authoritatively can state the truth about alcoholism. This is further contested in the current society of how being an alcoholic would be considered as a non-native American way of life. The result indicates that alcoholism among Native American society becomes the discourse within which constraints produce considerable barriers to expose or address to this topic

This study examines the phases of human consciousness revealed in the poetry of indigenous people in the light of some prominent psychologists and philosophers mainly Bucke, Schleiermacher, William James, Hegel, and Moores. Bucke and Schleiermacher cited three forms of consciousness: Animal or Brutish Self-awareness, Sensual or Self-Consciousness, and Cosmic Consciousness. While examining the poetry of indigenous people, Palestinians and Native Americans, we find out that the majority moves within the confines of the Sensual or Self-Consciousness in their reaction to the brutish consciousness of the oppressors who deny their unalienable rights for life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Unlike others, Mahmoud Darwish, the Palestinian, and Joy Harjo, the Native American, attempt to transcend the sensual consciousness and adopt a broader universal vision or cosmic consciousness; however, their peaceful vision is often shattered by bitter realities and frustrated by the inhuman conduct of their oppressors. In their verses, the particular or the sensual is not completely overlooked or concealed. It is always there, yet alleviated by a universal vision held by the two poets

El texto propone comprender el concepto de la migración como el viaje que presupone la existencia. Sostiene que la migración de un estado del ser a otro es un fundamento del aspecto evolutivo y se da por medio del lenguaje. La metáfora, como un vehículo imprescindible para arribar a estados superiores de la conciencia. Con ayuda del pensamiento de María Zambrano y de James Hillman, autores que disertan sobre la metáfora del corazón, y en diálogo con la teoría literaria trazada por Paul Ricoeur en su obra La metáfora viva, la autora ahonda en el concepto de migración. Para finalizar, toma como ejemplo la voz de la poeta norteamericana Joy Harjo,en su obra Conflict resolution for holy beings y hace un viaje al corazón de la palabra de Harjo. En ese viaje, explica cómo la poesía acompaña el ejercicio de migrar de un estado de conciencia a otro en la construcción de una episteme que tiene como centro el fortalecimiento de la propia subjetividad.
